Embodiment Construction
[0059]The inventors of the present invention identified the presence of lateral forces (parallel to the sensor surface), acting on particles that are close to the sensor surface as one of the main contributors of the above described problem. Compared to forces perpendicular to the sensor surface, these lateral forces can probably induce much higher forces on the biological bonds through the large torque that is created.
[0060]In particular, FIG. 2 illustrates how a relatively small force F, parallel (lateral) to the sensor surface, can induce a relatively larger force on a biological bond due to the long arm “d” created by the relatively large size of the magnetic particle 10. The resulting force, which acts on the bond between the particle and the bond is indicated by F′ which is significantly larger than the parallel force F. Moreover, the inventors of the present invention also observed that single unbound particles can be dragged over the sensor surface and remove already bound p...
